What's New in Sanctum

1.1.4

September 8, 2026

Bug fixes & reliability improvements! The hardest part of keeping a voice journal is remembering to speak. Sanctum can now invite you to. Turn on occasional recording prompts and every so often Sanctum will suggest you take a walk, ramble, and give a looping thought somewhere to go — a small opening in the day for the thought you keep circling. They stay off until you ask for them. Sanctum offers once, after it has made you a note, and "not now" settles it for good. You can turn them on or off whenever you like in Settings, separately from every other notification. A prompt is only ever an invitation: it never carries a note title, a transcript, or a word you recorded.

Amongst the most used apps on my phone!

I absolutely love Sanctum! I use this multiple times a day from conversations with friends to walking down the road or thoughts while cooking, it’s so useful to get things out of my mind without losing them.

I also super appreciate the privacy policy, knowing that my data is not used by anyone else but me and is not read by anyone else but me is really really important to me, I’m glad that it’s this way.

freedom to be creative AND organized

Great new app, wow! I like how easy it is to search and organize and summarize so many stream-of-conscious thoughts and ideas. I like how things are kept private for you and not shared with AI or sold to outside partners. I feel safe.
